Common Responses Ballet Dancers Get

There are several different things people say to me when I tell them that I do ballet. Here I have listed some of the most common ones.

1. Ballet? Oh... that's so... cute.

2. So can you do the splits?

3. Why?

4. So are all the guys in your class gay?

5. That's nice.

6. Ooh! Can you stand on your toes? Can you show me right now?

7. Doesn't it get boring doing plies at the barre for the whole class?

8. Ooh! Twirl around for us!

9. That won't get you very far in life. Why don't you think about a REAL career.

10. So, for every class, you hop around in tutus, right?

11. Oh, I used to do ballet, but then I quit when I was five.

12. Can I see your feet? Don't they have blisters and blood all over them?

13. Ballet? That's so easy! I can do any of that stuff.

14. That's stupid.

15. Cool! Do a flip!

16. How sweet.

17. Oh, I like modern better. It's more lively. I can't stand that slow junk.

18. Ha! I know the ballerinas' secret! They actually have wood inside their shoes! Right?

19. I thought that was for little girls.

20. Your joking, right?

21. How can you dance with a guy in tights!?!

22. Isn't gymnastics pretty much the same as ballet?

23. Are you anorexic?

If you have any more, just email them to me. If I like it, I'll add it to the list!
